Portland area bloggers’ picnic?
4/25/05 4:00PM:
OK, everyone, I have a plan.Sometime soon, like maybe in a couple months, at the start of summer, I’d like to host a big picnic at a park somewhere, for all my new blogging friends. It will be a fun day of getting to know in person all the people we blog with daily. At this point, this is basically kind of a general idea, but just off the top of my head, I was thinking that I would provide all the hot dogs, hamburgers, condiments and what-not, and then I would ask everyone attending to bring a food or drink item as well.
If there is enough interest, I will take on the task of coordinating everything with all the guests, securing a place, arranging games and activities for everyone, and everything else. I just need to know that enough people will be interested in attending to make it worthwhile. I future-dated this post so it stays at the top of this site for a while, but this isn’t necessarily the planned picnic date.
Please leave a comment if you think you might like to attend, and be sure to pass the info along to anyone else who might be interested that may not otherwise visit here regularly. If you don’t want to leave a comment, you can email me from the link on the left. Also, feel free to link to this post (http://www.igetsomad.com/?p=85) from your own blog or website. Seriously, spread the word, your friends are my friends!

It just wouldn’t be the same without the loved ones, husbands, wives, S.O.s, kids, etc., so bring ‘em along!

Clarification: If there is enough interest, I will be reserving a picnic spot at a public park somewhere in the Portland, Oregon area. I’ll try to get one with some sort of barbecue contraption, plenty of tables, and maybe a covered eating area. I’m still looking into all the options, so at this point, I don’t know specifically where it will be (any suggestions?)
